A few days ago I posted an initial version of the necessary configuration required to run pre-submit build and tests for JDK main-line contributions using GitHub Actions [2] and the free tier [3] available to everyone working with open source repositories. I've incorporated the feedback into an updated version that I believe is ready to be integrated.
If this is integrated into the `master` branch, future branches created and updated in personal forks will build and run the basic tier 1 tests as described in this configuration, on Linux, Windows and macOS (all on x64). It's of course possible for any contributor to opt out fully or partially of these automatic runs in a few different ways. To opt out completely, a contributor can simply disable GitHub Actions on their personal fork, and no further jobs will be executed. Another option is to add a repository secret [4] with the name `JDK_SUBMIT_FILTER` set to any value. If this is set, only branches prefixed with `submit/` will be subject to automatic build and test. This can also be further refined by adding a repository secret named `JDK_SUBMIT_PLATFORMS` with a value such as `Linux x64, Windows x64` to limit automatic build and test to these two platforms. It will still be possible to run the tests on any branch and/or platform by manually triggering the workflow. To see what this looks like in practice, an example run can be found here: https://github.com/rwestberg/jdk/actions/runs/265131985 (note that there is currently a failing test on Windows which is tracked by JDK-8249095, which should probably be resolved before this change is integrated).
